----------------------------Original message---------------------------- We have been scanning them on a Agfa Arcus. The problem is the mass storgage -storage- it takes. We do only the central 65% because they are darker on the edges, and at 300 dpi it takes 6 megabytes per color photo. To get full resolution you need to go to 600 dpi whic requires 4 times the space. Our end use is vegetation maps so eventually we will dump the photos. Bill ------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
